As of 14.09.21 the timing rules have been changed and properly clarified, with RTA now becoming a primary timing method. IGT was always fairly inconvenient to use, with it requiring constant full game restarts for accuracy purposes, so it was a pending change for a while now. IGT will still keep its presence on the boards, but will be completely optional when it comes to putting anything in its field.

Followup change to that is a separation of Consoles and Emulator(s) for a more fair environment when it comes to adjusting to new timing, since the latter tend to have up to few seconds of advantage per loading screen.

Other changes include removing the 100% category due to lack of demand for one atm, and some minor cosmetical changes to the look of the boards in general.

04.03.23 rules update:

1. Now both the console and emulator runners are required to either restart the game between each main category attempt, or to create a new profile to avoid the NG+ effect of skipping the campaign missions briefings. Whichever option gets chosen it's obviously required to be included in the submission video as well.

2. Emulator runners are now required to show the emulator system settings after finishing both the main category run or an individual level one to further ensure the legitimacy of said run. "(Settings -> System -> Emulation and Cheats sections) Fast Memory option must be turned on, Ignore Bad Memory Accesses option must be turned off and Enable Cheats option must also be turned off."

3. Updated the timing starts for Individual Levels to something that makes a bit more sense in general and also makes the verification process easier. Also additionally further clarified the starting/ending timing points in brackets for both the main categories and ILs.
